Taiwan’s Constitutional Court is poised to make a historic ruling on whether to abolish the death penalty, a deeply divisive issue in the country. Human rights advocates argue for its repeal, citing global trends and moral considerations, while others argue for maintaining it, particularly in light of serious crimes. 

Taiwan has long upheld capital punishment, but shifting public opinion and international pressures may influence the court’s decision, which could drastically change the legal landscape of the island. This case marks a pivotal moment for Taiwan’s human rights and judicial policies.
